milliways_bar OOM: Vegas, baby.
Las Vegas.
At certain times of day the Strip appears nearly deserted; at others, cars move a crawl and the sidewalks are packed with people looking for an endless variety of a good time.
It's never cold in Las Vegas--it's just varying degrees of hot. The grand hotels cast shadows and there are fountains up and down the Strip, though few are intended to cool off the tourists as much as amuse them. There are few places to just sit and watch the city go past: the intention is to bring you inside, to gamble and shop and take in a show or two.
It's a strange city, of long nights and slow days, and there's a nervy sort of energy brought by vast amounts of money changing hands, of celebrities getting away for a wild night, of lives changing with a roll of the dice.
It's a perfect city, though, for a pair of dreamers to celebrate each other. Whether they take the High Octane option of Charlie's plans or the Lazy Day option, it's good just to be here, together.

By the end of the evening as the sun's going down, they're waterlogged and a little brusied, and perhaps a bit pink in places where they missed the sunblock, but happy.
In the taxi ride back to the hotel he kisses the top of Darien's head and thinks with great satisfaction, This was a perfect day.
